May 28, 2010 - 13:11 BSThellomagazine.comThe veteran film star was surrounded by friends and family as his forty-year career was celebrated

A day before his latest film project, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, hit US cinemas, Sir Ben Kingsley was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as friends and family looked on.

The 66-year-old actor attended the ceremony with his wife Daniela and son Edmund, while close friend Bruce Willis and Prince of Persia producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, were also on-hand.

Jerry, who spoke at the event, toasted the Oscar-winner, calling him "one of the finest actors of this or any generation" and a "genius".

The director went on to praise Ben's talent and dedication.

"To say it is a privilege to work with this legend is an understatement," he said. "It was also no surprise that he turned out to be one of the hardest working, most dedicated and elegant gentlemen I have ever worked with."

And while the day was meant to be a celebration of his own work, a humble Ben took the opportunity to pay tribute to many of his co-stars.
